    I have been wanting to try this place out after hearing so many good things about it. I loved it! Loved the smokiness of the moist ribs, delicious tangy bbq sauce, creamy loaded mashed potatoes and green beans. Service was friendly. The casual atmosphere is perfect for getting messy from eating ribs!

    The TBH (The Brisket House) platter was very good, brisket, sausage and ribs with three sides...we chose pinto beans, cole slaw and corn bread, all 5 stars. My wife had a craving for a baked tater which was barely warm and not fully cooked, minus a star, she should have taken it back and asked for a do over.

    Food was excellent and the staff was very friendly. I would recommend and I will be back if I'm ever in the area.

    I was in town on business and this location came highly recommended to enjoy some good BBQ. When I walked into the restaurant, I noticed its industrial-style design, with a brick-layer counter and an open kitchen where you could watch the food being prepared. It's a casual place where you order at the counter, pay, and then find a seat at one of the ten or so tables inside. Both the preparation and dining areas appeared clean. To be honest, I expected to be hit with the delicious smell of BBQ smoke as soon as I walked in, but that wasn't the case. Still, I went up to the counter to place my order. Unfortunately, the young woman at the counter didn't seem too interested in helping me. There was no greeting, just a cold shrug when I said hello. Asking her questions about the menu felt like a chore, and I almost considered leaving. But since I had taken an Uber to get there, I decided to stay and ordered the three-meat plate combo with brisket, ribs, and sausage, along with baked beans and loaded mashed potatoes. A polite gentleman brought the food to my table within minutes, as everything was already prepared. As I started eating, I realized I was missing cornbread--a must-have with BBQ in my opinion. I hadn't seen it listed under the main menu, but after a closer look, I found it under desserts. Reluctantly, I approached the same grumpy server to ask about it and ended up ordering a slice. Thankfully, the other men behind the counter were much friendlier. The portions were generous for the price, especially with the sides included. The meats were fantastic--well-smoked, seasoned, and tender. The baked beans had a nice smoky flavor, and the mashed potatoes were creamy with the skin still on, though they could have used a bit more topping. The cornbread was a highlight--light and fluffy with a golden brown, slightly crispy crust. It had a good balance of sweet and savory, and the honey drizzled on top made it even better. They also have a variety of drinks, including beer, soda, Dr. Pepper fountain drinks, and iced tea. Although I didn't try the desserts, they offered options like banana pudding, pecan pie, and chocolate chip brownies. Now, I'm someone who values good customer service, and I believe it can make or break the dining experience. Unfortunately, my interaction with the staff left a bad taste in my mouth. While I was there, I noticed that the young lady at the counter treated other customers differently, based on their skin color, which made the whole experience uncomfortable. Despite the good food, I won't be returning. There have to be better, more welcoming places to enjoy BBQ. Order Cornbread - $1.50 Three meat plates with 2 sides - $24.90 Food - 4 Service - 2

    My first time ordering and I was fairly impressed overall! Easy to order over the phone which was nice. My fav part was the banana pudding but the sandwich was by far the star. The green beans and mac & cheese we're just ok. The mac & cheese was a little bland in my opinion. But overall a really good meal, I would come back for sure and maybe order some different sides.

    Geez! Whoever cooks these ribs is awesome! So I tried the 3 meat plate: Ribs, brisket, chicken. Was great and tasty. Staff were nice and on-point. This place is a gem. If you haven't tried it, you should. I do wish they had more sides like okra. I also would like to see a 2nd option bbq sauce a little spicier. Love the country music and decor.

    A hidden gem of bbq in Tanglewood. Staff is super friendly and quick. The food is top level - like this BBQ Turkey Stuffed Baked Potato - enough for 2 meals.

    #CashBack#StackSats #ShakeNBank

    Where there's smoke, there's fire--and the food here proves it. Stack that brisket like you #StackSats! The brisket is smoked low and slow over oak wood for up to 14 hours, and you can taste the love in every slice. The service was fast, friendly, and knew their way around the heat. The ambiance had a relaxed, down-to-earth vibe--perfect for kicking back and digging in. Don't sleep on the jalapeño sausage, and if you're using a cash back app, that's just extra flavor on the side. IG @ TheCashBackQuest X @ TheCashBackQuest

    Very good BBQ they did not disappoint . Visiting from Tampa FL a couple locals told me to try it out . The brisket was bussin probably top 3 Brisket i've had all time. i was very surprised how good the cornbread was . The rest of the sides were gold too, and usually that's not the case . Customer Service was on point too, would definitely recommend this pace again. Only red check i would give it is its sweet tea, maybe it was a bad batch but it wasn't it. Other then that A+

The young lady at the front did her best to accommodate us by apologizing, giving us a free cobbler and juice for the little one. We ordered a few different things: fried whole wings, dirty rice, yams, cabbage, mango habanero wings, fries, red beans and rice and Kool-aide. The fried wings, rice, fries and cabbage were well seasoned- you could taste the butter in them. My son wasn't crazy about the red beans n rice or mango habanero wings. He said it was more beans than rice and the wings lacked flavor. The Kool -aide was super sweet (as expected), but I added water to make it more palatable. While waiting we talked to some other guests Who decided to wait. Later the cook came out and chatted a bit- he was nice. Overall, food is good just come with patience.

We went on a Saturday for lunch. Hopefully this was just a one-off, but if you're looking for good Cajun boiled crawfish, this is not it. We started off with 6 lbs (group of 4) of their regular crawfish. First off, they put the Cajun seasoning on outside/shell (!!), which is a cardinal sin for Cajuns. They also minimally seasoned the boil, so the meat was lacking salt and flavor. We ordered 3 more lbs with the "wet sauce" (garlic butter), thinking the lack of flavor may be attributed to this being the first-ish batch of the day. Nope, the second batch was even less seasoned than the first. The sauce was good, but it didn't make up for the unseasoned meat. The crawfish were a good size, at least... Come on guys, I expect more from a Gulf Coast seafood restaurant!

It was a beautiful sunny day outside and it reflected all throughout the large windows of the restaurant. A+ for the ambiance. We started off with mimosa carafes for the table, great blend of juice and champagne. No complaints at all about the mimosas. He started us with a round of biscuits, with butter & jelly on the side. Would give it overall rating of 8.5/10, I actually liked them they weren't too sweetened like other biscuits. For food, I ordered the Buttermilk Waffles, turkey links, and side of Smoked Gouda Mac & Cheese. The food was good, above average in my opinion. The buttermilk waffles weren't overly crisp but still had nice warm flavor (8.7/10), turkey links were satisfactory (8.1/10), and the mac & cheese was above average as well, not out of this world but pretty good nonetheless (8.0/10). In my opinion, I give this restaurant a 5-stars, not just because of the food (4 stars), but just the overall experience.

We ordered the cast-iron cornbread, chargrilled oysters, and a cup of gumbo each to start. For entrées, I had the Gulf Fish, while my husband went with the crawfish Florentine.

Both dishes were noticeably over salted. After finishing our meals, we waited an additional 15-20 minutes just to receive a dessert menu. Eventually, we decided not to wait any longer and went to Dessert Gallery down the street instead. While the atmosphere and appearance of the restaurant were excellent, the slow service and food issues negatively impacted the experience. Based on this visit, I would likely not return.
